[[Major-General]] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;John Tombs&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1777&amp;amp;ndash;1848) was an officer in the [[British East India Company]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education==&lt;br /&gt;
John Tombs was the son of a banker, Joseph Tombs (1745&amp;amp;ndash;1818), of [[Abingdon-on-Thames]]. He was educated at [[John Roysse]]&amp;#039;s [[Free school (England)|Free School]] in Abingdon (now [[Abingdon School]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Military career==&lt;br /&gt;
He entered service with the East India Company. He commanded the [[3rd Bengal Cavalry]] at the [[Siege of Bharatpur]] (1825&amp;amp;ndash;26) and was promoted to [[major-general]] in 1838. He retired from the Indian Army to Malta where he died. He sent his six sons home to Abingdon for an English education, the most distinguished of them being the sixth son, Major-General Sir [[Henry Tombs]], VC, KCB (1825&amp;amp;ndash;1874).&amp;lt;ref name=Hammond&amp;gt;Hammond, Vol. 18&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
